The reason this 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder is so special is because it’s the most pure modern Porsche hands down, but it’s no fluke. They’ve done all of the right things to make this the definition of the modern roadster.
Yes, the 3.8 litre flat six from the Carrera S is fitted here and it makes a wonderful 375 horsepower and a 310 pounds of torque - and it’s the torque that makes all the difference. This Spyder has almost 40 more pounds feet of torque than the last Boxster GTS we tested. Unlike the lesser Boxsters, the additional torque gives you the flexibility to simply leave the shifter in a taller gear. There’s no need to downshift. And there’s a classic, mechanical limited slip diff, too.
Brakes are borrowed from the 911 as well, I guess for a bit of overkill because the Boxster already has robust brakes.
It is the lightest Boxster in the range, by only about 30 kilos, but with the additional power, lookout, because this thing is quick. Zero to 100 km/h in 4 and a half seconds and tops out at 290 km/h - and that’s with the top down because it’s only good up to 200 km/h. And apparently it does a lap of the Nordschleife in 7 minutes 47 seconds. That’s cool if you believe in that sort of thing.
It’s not the GT3 front end exactly like Porsche’s done for the Cayman GT4, but think of it as GT3 light. The suspension is actually based on the sport suspension from the Boxster GTS and sits 20mm lower than standard. It rolls on 20 inch wheels, and the rears are unique to the Spyder as they’re a half inch wider than any other boxster wheel.
The steering sets an example for feel, quickness, and precision, and perhaps that's because it’s derived from the 911 Turbo. Brilliant. The smaller diameter steering wheel is simply icing on the cake. The six speed manual is a delight to shift - and, sorry, if you can’t drive a manual transmission, you’re going to have to learn. PDK isn’t available.
Unlike other Boxsters, the top is all manual and it's a heck of a lot easier to operate than the 987 Spyder, but you’ll want to keep it down as much as possible, even if it’s just to listen to the sound this thing makes. In fact I’ve only had it up once during my test and that was simply for security’s sake when I parked it in a public space.
This 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder test car is nearly the perfect spec, too. Carrara white metallic looks perfect on this car - and there’s no air conditioning fitted. There’s a basic sound system, and climate controls are basic, too. Just perfect.
The GT3-like front bumper cover and spoiler gives the Spyder a distinct look and it really looks the business, but that spoiler sits a little low so you’ve got to be careful going in and out of driveways. Is that my only complaint about this car? I think it is.
This Boxster Spyder is certainly the best 2016 model year Porsche and it should go down in the annals of Zuffenhausen history as one of the greats.

I just watched for the second time and am totally convinced I'd buy the Spyder before I ever thought of getting a GT4. For me, not having that wing on an everyday driver is one of the biggest reasons. You've got a great KZbin car channel, Brian. Keep up the great work.

Lucky owner of one of these. The front is REALLY low and literally scrapes on everything. But it's a cheap plastic part that costs a few hundred to replace, so I'm okay. The engine is incredible, but does lack low-end torque, thanks in no small part to the long gear ratios of 2nd and 3rd. I love this car and hope to keep it for a long time.

The problem with the aftermarket shorter final drive is that it makes the gear spacing so short that you can't really use 2nd gear on the track at all and you often get stuck between 3rd and 4th.

@@mikeokhravi3321 My understanding is from Alex Ross founder of Sharkwerks with ‘The Smoking Tire’ host in a KZbin video. Alex explains 2,3,4 are shorter and 5,6 are left alone for highway fuel economy. The gear set is made by Guard Transmissions, famous for their mechanical locking diffs. Alex also explains in the video doing a shorter final drive was actually more expensive than a gear set. It’s a very good video, visit his website, he does the sickest stuff.

+Intraframe The numbers suggest that KZbin favours a mix of low quality and high quantity over high production values. Any vids we publish that don't meet our normal standard are identified that way.

So keep on doing what you're doing. :)

+Intraframe Its funny since I consider this one of our medium productions. I kept the camera in 1080p and did not do post work on the colour grading of the film. I kind of need to pick and choose what cars to spend more or less time on. There is no sponsorship here sadly, its all just a labor of love by the small three person team. I up the production qualities on cars we get early access to that I think will do favorably. You might have noticed this trend in the DB9 GT and 675LT videos. They are easy to spot as they are 4k uploads with super wide aspect ratios. Anyways viewership is the largest issue I think we face these days, the more help we get from the fans the more inclined I am to spend time on these side projects.

+Nick Busato Hehe, well then you should just take my comment as a big compliment. :) I would say I'm pretty picky when it comes to quality and sure, I'd love to have this vid in 4K (or in a higher res) so I atleast can show it in 1440p on my monitor, it just make it a biiiit sharper. This video did not really need any grading or even contrast adjustment imho, I think it was really good. :) Hopefully you'll gain viewers faster as time goes by. I know there are more people like me that loves cars but also care alot about the production behind the video.

Brian, Great reviews as always!! I had a deposit down on both the GT4 and the Spyder and ultimately went with the GT4 which I will be picking up at the end of the month...I just wish I could have had the money to buy both as they strike me as so similar and so different at the same time. The GT4 has won accolades the world over with top picks my car magazines as a top road car and even second place in dedicated track car battles...I think the Spyder is an unsung hero because Porsche released them both in the same model year. it seems you like convertibles a lot....if it was your money what would you have chosen???

Nice review and nice video...as the owner of a brand new white Spyder delivered a month ago today, it probably isn't surprising that I feel the same way as you about the car. Just curious, it look like you tested the car last Fall? Since you just published it, it made me wonder if we were about to see a wave of reviews. For some reason, there are almost no review by North American outlets large or small, other than a few from the press intro event in Hawaii around Christmas. No instrumented tests that I can find at all. Weird, since most new Porsche models don't lack for exposure. Anyway, I liked it, shared, I subscribed. More of the same, please.

Brian is that Spyder better than a Boxster GTS ? I'm hesitating right now .. Thanks for your answer ..
@BrianMakse
@BrianMakse 8 жыл бұрын
In every way - except day to day usability. If it's going to be a second or third car, Spyder. If it's going to be a daily driver, GTS, unless you can keep the top down all the time. Hope that helps.

Ok got your point but let's say you did not have a race car and you could only have one car, not to have to use as a daily driver but to drive on weekends either on Backcountry Ontario roads north of Toronto and maybe 3-4 track days per year at the most...then why would be your pick😃...sorry to put u on the spot

+Three Pedal Rebel I can't answer that for anyone else. For a second, fun car, my choice is the Spyder, but I wouldn't track it because I've got race cars for that. Some people may desire the perceived protection that a steel roof offers, but I don't. Spyder trumps GT4 for me.

No A/C or a properly functional top makes takes away from being the "perfect" roadster. Don't get me wrong, the Spyder is actually my favorite Porsche of all time, but these are pretty burdensome flaws. You can ONLY use this vehicle on perfect days. That's it.

All of their new, high volume engines are turbocharged and small displacement in order to meet emissions and fuel consumption regulations. This is true for nearly every volume car maker.
